Hi racers!
In case anyone is wondering what has happened to my graphics, the company where I host my site has this morning issued the following:

Subject: Storage not available
We have detected a big hardware issue on the storage where your account is stored.
We are working hard to resolve the issue as soon as possible, while we are working on that issue, all services except mail are not working correctly.
We are very sorry about the downtime and we are hoping to fix this issue within the next 5 hours.
=== UPDATE @11:40 CET ===
We have detected a big hardware failure on the storage. Because of the error it is impossible for us to reconstruct all the files that are stored.
Due to maintenance work last year in November, we had a backup from that time, so its possible that we can recreate those files. Please tell support if you want to enable that backup.
Each customer will receive 1 month of free hosting as compensation.
We are very sorry about this worst case of hardware failure

Hopefully the 5 hour deadline they have given themselves will be enough
If they haven't solved it by tonight I will have to send new links to Remco and Marco to an alternative host. I apologise for any inconvenience, but this really is out of my control!
Meanwhile, here is a copy of the entry list for Abu Dhabi, which is not visible in the second post at the moment:
Good luck in the final round everyone, see you tonight.
